Bruno Fernandes 8, Marcus Rashford 8: Manchester United player ratings v Istanbul Basaksehir



Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not taking progress to the Champions League knockout phase for granted despite Manchester United's important victory against Istanbul Basaksehir.

November started with a shock defeat at the Turkish champions that dented their chances of progressing from Group H, which the Red Devils had opened with impressive wins against Paris St Germain and RB Leipzig.

But United got back on track at an empty Old Trafford on Tuesday, with Bruno Fernandes' double added to by Marcus Rashford's penalty and a late goal from substitute Daniel James.

The 4-1 triumph means Solskjaer's side only need a point from their final two matches to qualify for the last 16, but next week's home match against PSG and the trip to Leipzig means the manager is not getting ahead of himself.

"The group is still very open," the Norwegian said.

"We've got nine, two on six points (PSG and RB Leipzig) and Basaksehir on three, so we still need points to go through.

"One probably should be enough and three probably gives you the win, so hopefully against PSG we can secure the points we need but that's another matter."
